reality can be whatever i want
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Seeing this picture feels like getting a thorn out of your foot

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.
They’re all shifted down by one
Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, “Yes, that’s part of your job.”

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to bother worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.
Let’s say your job is to check whatever is under those lids. How do you best mark it as having been done so you don’t re-open the same panel multiple times?
Open all of them… Only place cover back when you’re done.
Chalk
- rain washes it off after a few weeks
- only have to open one at a time instead of 2+
Your loop condition fails the next street where there’s a round hole without a distinguishable pattern

If this is your job, you aren’t tracking 6 lids, you’re tracking all the lids, probably in an entire section of the city. Possibly hundreds. Being able to look at a glance and see if you’ve already done it is clutch.
Next time it’s time for a check, you put them back on the right way.

I like fixing these digitally.
Straight to jail
honestly the most infuriating part of this is that you didn’t match the colors
As every manhole I ever saw was put back in place in such a way, that the patterns don’t line up, I’m pretty sure, that the maintenance guys are doing this on purpose.
According to the very last quote in the article mentioned here:
“As someone who works in them… we do it 100% on purpose!” one man said.
Mr honey dew man the little dwarf waauwiee
DDHM!
I work for an telco and I have seen a lot of times that a contract for using preexisting underground infrastructure that have lids like this has a section requiring that they are returned to the same location and orientation when the enclosure is sealed.
Whoever owns that, municipality or private, will probably take a complaint about it, and may pass it to whoever is responsible or owns the plant inside.
This ruined my day, thanks.
Edit: here is some eyebleech:
Sorry, that photo isn’t perfect either.
This is made from sand by monks.
the tic-tac’s were perfect, get new eyes.
Not even close, columns and rows are horribly offset
i think you’re just making things up
That gives me anxiety, it’s too elaborate.
Don’t worry, they destroy it soon after
Oh wow guys this looks incredi… 🤧Achoo!!
Fuck!
Oh god, why do I suddenly feel the need to sneeze
Oh man that just unlocked a memory! When I was in elementary school we’d have a world culture day every year and there were a couple of moms who’d do that on a table each year and I was always in awe at the intricacy and fragility of the design

I’ll only accept American roads that have zero orientation issues.
Perfection
Happy cake day!
Thank you! ☺️
Looks like your textures didn’t load properly. You gotta shut down the road and restart it.
I realized the lids are not wrong just not placed in the right spot.

One to three and five to six will solve the puzzle. There better be a loot chest.
I expect the whole central curve to open to reveal a spiral staircase to the next level.
You found me! Yahaha
“Not my fucking job”
Which is funny because if your job requires you to touch those lids, it would be your fucking job.
This is just the work of lazy fucks or they’re truly dumb as a bag of rocks.
Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol
Two sets of lids were swapped. Those lids can be pretty heavy. Whats inside them usually are valves for plumbing.
So after the 100th set of valves you’ve backflow tested that day and you’re resetting the lids in 100F+ degree heat and you turn around as you’re walking away with your gear that you swapped two lids?
Well, having done this work at two different times in my life: the size of paycheck matters decidedly on whether that’s getting fixed.
Dumb or lazy? Why not just apathetic?
“Not payed enough to care”
Somebody spent time properly paving these covers so that they don’t interrupt the pattern, then later someone didn’t spent one second trying to put them back the way they were
didn’t spent one second
They did, and took pictures.
I love it when someone replaces manhole covers upside down or the lines in the road painted on the cover are off kilter
It activates the technician part of my brain and I’m left wondering what the symbol is for on the piping diagram.
These are fully intentional.
This isn’t mildly infuriating it’s very infuriating! I’m genuinely quite cross
Someone geolocate this so we can go and fix it!
